Very happy to give the club a 5 star review. Just had a family birthday party and the service from Carolyn and her team was first class. Carolyn was very responsive to all my questions and nothing was too much trouble. On the day her team were warm and friendly, all the party guests had a lovely time and enjoyed the hot buffet food. Highly recommend!

I played here twice in June 2024, once in pouring rain at the beginning of the round. The course was immaculate with very well kept fairways. The greens were smooth, fast, and challenging. The rough was closely cut and there wasn't any great amount of debris under or around the trees. There was no waterlogging despite the English rain. The course isn't hugely difficult for a high handicap player but it does require some course management and a deal of care on the greens, some of which don't appear to have any level surfaces. The clubhouse is modern and comfortable. The bar staff are very friendly and helpful. I enjoy this course and I have heard good things from my brother who is a member for six years. Green fees were very reasonable too.

Stunning course, the trees can be punishing so accuracy is needed. Greens were in great condition with some tricky putts. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Would highly recommend going.

Rating: 4 / 5

Nice course, good value at £20, greens were in good condition and was fairly quick, most greens fairly straightforward but does have tricky ones sprinkled in with some difficult pin positions. Fairly flat course so comfortable walking round. No pro shop though but would visit again for a comfortable round and shouldn't lose too many balls compared to other courses around here.

Westhoughton Golf course was an absolute bargain. £20 . We played on 2nd May. The back 9 was having some work o the greens being done, over sanding etc. So I don't know if this was a cheaper rate. The front 9 was great greens and fairways were suburb for time of year and the recent wet weather that all courses have been suffering from. Very few plugged balls and some good run out on fairways was a pleasant change. Some very nice holes with some nice water features guarding some greens. Overall for the price this course is / was a bargain and if this was a normal summer green fee we'll be back for sure. Only down side is no pro shop. But a bar and food is available all staff were very friendly and members encountered were very accommodating. Thankyou for a great day Westhoughton GC. 👍😊

Went to a wedding there, the setting was lovely, the staff couldn't do enough for you and the food was excellent

Rating: 4 / 5

Nice course, wasn't expecting it to be as up and down as it was but greens had good undulations which made for some interesting putts. Good golf shop, packed with gear to get. Unfortunately was quite wet and did have a fair amount of standing water on greens and in dips on the faraway. Would love to go back when it's dry, would recommend to try but £50 green fee I thought was a bit steep but if you can get a deal for around £30-£35 it'd be well worth it.

Good venue, greens very tricky, Good range of short and long holes, would imagine it gets very wet,

Not played pike fold before but I was pleasantly surprised and really impressed with the course - good design and routing of holes. It was in really good condition and the greens were superb - excellent pace and roll to them. Was quite busy for a Monday morning but pace of play was fine. Enjoyed a pint afterwards, and staff and members that we met were friendly. Would definitely go back and play there again.

Played as a reciprocal, this is a great challenging course, very well looked after and not a boring hole in sight. Lovely breakfast and coffee £7.50 and the assistant pro was a decent lad. Will definitely play it again.

Rating: 4 / 5

Played the seniors open and the course was in good condition particularly the greens. Fairly generous off the tees but with a few hazards dotted about. Everyone very friendly in pro shop and clubhouse. Well worth a visit.

I recently held my 80th birthday celebration for approximately 50 guests in the Function Room at the club. I want to compliment the club caterers "Chip and Sip" and the club bar staff on their service and friendliness in providing a magnificent Hot and Cold buffet, the food was excellent and plentiful, all fresh and prepared and cooked in the Club house kitchen. Everyone was impressed with the quality of the food and the bar service. I would thoroughly recommend Pike Fold Golf Club as an ideal venue for any kind of social function.

Stunning course with great views across the area. Parts of the course were flooded but the weather had been terrible beforehand (welcome to the North West). The course was really well maintained throughout. The bar area was cozy, reasonably priced and the food was excellent.

Bolton old links was a really good folf course. Some really deep difficult bunkers well placed. Must avoid at all cost. Greens were absolutely amazing. Some tee shots are blind, but hole map on every tee helps. Course knowledge is definitely an advantage here. Fairways are generous and rough is punishing. A great course overall.

Bolton Balloon Fairies was asked to create a Balloon Wall around our 4 foot LED Numbers and what a gorgeous room they have for hire for functions. It's an upstairs room and is very large holding a couple of hundred people. Car park is spacious and bars are on both floors. Highly recommend 👌

Great golf course but not for the faint hearted, panoramic views across West Lancashire make the climb on some holes well worthwhile. Love the food and members bar overlooking the with green. Very friendly throughout.

Such a wonderful venue for an informal family celebration. service, food and setting were second to none. Staff were so accommodating and helpful and pricing was very reasonable. My wife had a memorable seventieth birthday as a result. All twenty one guests were highly impressed and will visit again, with one considering taking up golf! At Houghwood, ofcourse.😁

Nice clean clubhouse with friendly helpful staff, didn't really get a look at pro shop. This is a great little course with undulating fairways hiding some monster size bunkers (with good sand in most) and some really well placed, making any golfer think a bit and course management is vital as there are hidden streams and water hazards which are not visible on a few fairways. Greens are good also, and I recommend this course to any average to good golfer, maybe a bit too challenging to a novice.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fabulous, well priced course. Buggy hire extremely reasonable. The course is laid out very well as has some really challenging holes. A good test around. The greens are impeccably kept and the bunkers bar one are near perfect. Play advised......

Rating: 5 / 5

First time I played this course and I found it a very pleasent well maintained course but very tricky, with some course knowledge I would of shot better. After playing this course around 10 times over the last few months, I decided to come back to this review and add to it. The greens at Hart Common are some of the best I've played, and consistent throughout. Fairways are also very well kept. Some great bunkers well placed. Again this is a tricky course keep it on the fairway and you'll be rewarded.

Not bad condition for November. Boggy in spots but greens were good. Think £28 is a bit high for the time of year and condition. Played February. Greens were still good but it was plugging a lot. Lost a couple of balls that landed not far off the fairway. Not many places let you play full greens and tees this time of year so fair enough considering the weather

Having been a member previously, I was happy to play a round last week, to my delight, I cannot tell you the improvements that have been made to the course. Rob (head green keeper) and his team have improved the course and the ascetics 10 fold. The greens are in the best conditions I’ve ever seen them, the fairways and second cuts are cut to perfection and the general upkeep is second to none. Well done Rob and team for the great improvements and attention to detail. Definitely well worth a visit if you looking for a round of golf.

Went on a society day and have no complaints at all. Course was excellent, green's were superb. Food and service after golf was top class a very enjoyable day.

Rating: 5 / 5

Nice course. Good, inviting fairways from the tee box. Some long par 4s and a 210 yrd par 3. 16th drives over the 4th green, so it can cause a little bit of a wait. 6th has a ditch right on driver distance running across fairway be careful. 9th hole par 3 very tough, good-looking hole. Overall, it was very nice, not too hilly course. Proshop and clubhouse are very good.

Amazing greens for February. Course was great. Nice layout, a mix of holes and incredible condition for the time of year
